@c3 said in Staples Ink Recycling PSA - increase in spending (from $30 to $50) required starting 6/2/22:
The numbers should be: $40 x 7 = $280 rewards for $50 ink. Premier status is free with the Staples More account.
I already stopped participating in the recycling program a few months ago. Got tired of looking for things to buy every month just to use up the rewards.
No, for purposes of my account, the #'s are correct. I’m at base level. If I were earning $40 per month vs $20 maybe I’d hang on. But I’d have to join the Staples Plus thing at $50 to earn $40, so oop would be $150 to earn $480 per year. Now, that’s not a bad return per se, but I’ve become unsettled by Staples continual reduction of benefits and no advance warning on changes with policy changes, not to mention no balance coupons which can be a pain in the butt.
If they run a really good promo on ink (say 50% back, maybe even 40% in rewards) I might bite on the $50 but until then just going to do the OD program and stay on the sidelines.
